Innate disquisition as exegesis of poetics

L. B. Mek

 

 

they’re frustrated, abstract’s deification 

I steadfastly refuse, to accept

exasperated, I simply suggest 

they glean wisdom of substance, instead

 

deflated, each

slumping back to our corners, blinking

pages, through our mind’s ammunition

 

across our battlefield of love for Poesy

we sip upon our ink of passion, waiting 

 

that starter liquid of impatience 

igniting our muse of vehemence 

 

indignantly, posturing eyes once more blazing

leaping from fallible stools, we tattoo our will

upon dedication’s wings, bells of fate chiming

 

oh what mirage of glory 

sojourns within dialectic

born of our creativity’s stubbornness 

and life’s segregating, interpretations

      Dali himself would be proud of your title .. and I don't mean Mr. or Sir .. but the header, up there for your most recent creation ..

        (in those canvas realities, Poesy rules
        we be brethren's, I like to think
        poetic bonded by that voracious, vitality
        in our sincerity's crimson ink)
        thank you! Hyung
        you lead, I'll aspire to follow
        dear Poet supreme

        "We sip upon our ink of passion", we become heady with its properties, and everything is possible. Open wide those doors and explore the hidden treasures that lay within the poet's heart. This is so beautiful my friend, I believe your quill has dipped liquid gold.

        • L. B. Mek

          and in your eyes, it's displayed in carats
          far above
          my wildest dreams, dear poet kin
          thank you!

          Your words dance to your tune in beauty! Bravo dear poet!

          • L. B. Mek

            thank you! kind poet
            (I think that great Keats would have loved your line
            'words dancing to your tune in beauty!'
            capturing that lovely imagery in poetic sanguinity..)

            L.B. Whether you intended it or not, this poem struck to the heart of creation. I identify so deeply with "we tattoo our will upon dedication's wings, bells of fate chiming" Wethrow our creations out there waiting for a response and it is often not what we expected, if there is a response at all.

              so true, my cherished friend
              we ink, as we fish
              rod's of hope, seeking worth
              within artistry's murky waters
              (thank you! wise Poet
              hope all is well
              have a blessed week)
